State Senate 35 Harris plus one district.

And he blew it out by like 20 plus or whatever.

Just across the board, I don't think, I think Democrats have now flipped five seats in special legislative elections.

Yeah, let's throw E9 on the screen.

This is your guy, Daniel Ryan, who said, this is a remarkable analysis that he did over at Bolts, his website.

The GOP has not flipped a legislative seat in any state since 2024.

Just read that again.

Not flipped a legislative seat in any state since 2024.

Democrats, meanwhile, have flipped five.

Five seats so far in 2026.

And that's after flipping 25 in 2025.

And I would like to remind everybody that at the end of the Obama administration, Republicans took a victory lap.

You may remember this.

It was a huge Politico story that came out.

A thousand seats or whatever.

Yeah, that was retrospective.

This was towards the end of 2016.

On all of the seats Democrats had lost during the Obama administration and how he had essentially not— I mean, maybe it's the Obama brand.

Maybe it was a lazy Democratic Party under Obama that tried to kind of coast on vibes and not really take care of some of these underlying problems in the economy that was giving rise to Trump and Bernie populism, whatever it was.

Democrats hemorrhaged seats around the country over the course of the Obama administration.
